Commercially successful and critically lauded, the P.U.L.C.H. Watchmen episode has been called "the moment podcasting grew up." The award-winning episode sees hosts Nic "Without the K" Riley and Joyce "Joyce" Kittenplan joined by comic writer Robin "R.E." Parrish in a tour-de-force that deconstructs the very figure of the podcaster.

Despite audio issues, the P.U.L.C.H.ers hold a lively discussion about survivalist llamas, Joseph Goebbels's novel, and Ursula Le Guin's 1969 "The Left Hand of Darkness," a germinal tale of androgyny, cold, Taoism, cold, dreadful-sounding food, and cold.

Exactly as the stars predicted, Joyce and Nic return to chat about the Polish novel that shared the 2019 Nobel prize. Joyce entertains a new job offer and reads some Barth. Nic the Greek goes 2/2 on UFC predictions, calling the previous main event perfectly. To our supporters who pulled out their credit cards and ponied up to help the show we say thank you! We hope you'll hear this episode and think your money was well spent.

My dearest audience,

Never would I venture to suggest that your esteemed virtue is lacking in its expansive scope, and so I must naturally assume you are unaware of the great injury you do me by refusing to listen to my podcast. It therefore presses upon me to make it unambiguous to you how deeply I suffer and how fiercely my soul is inflamed that you will not download P.U.L.C.H. episode 14 in which Joyce and Nic discuss Pierre Choderlos de Laclos's 1782 epistolary novel Les Liaisons Dangereuses.

I beg of you: employ your saintly charity and yield succor to a soul in anguish!

-----
